Intro
HAROLD GREEN: It's The Ned Red Green Show! Ha-ha, ha! And now, here's the Julius Seizure of Possum Lodge. He came, he saw, he conked out. Your hero, my uncle, Red Green!

''{Red enters, carrying a sign. The audience applauds. Harold does a small dance and whoops with glee.}''

RED GREEN: Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Appreciate it. Welcome to Possum Lodge. Boy, oh, boy, big, big week at the Lodge this week. Got a real special event planned: our very first ever {holds up the sign which reads: "Running of the Bulls This Saturday."} Running of the Bulls!

HAROLD GREEN: Yeah, we all got a touch of the Pomplona.

RED GREEN: Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I had that one time. Couple of spoonfuls of imodium and keep your running shoes on.

HAROLD GREEN: No, no, Uncle Red, Pomplona is a city in Spain where they have the real Running of the Bulls.

RED GREEN: Oh, yeah, I know, I know, but ours will be just as good, Harold. Boy, I'll tell ya, the idea of a bunch of bulls chasing our guys down the main streets got everybody pretty revved up around here!

HAROLD GREEN: Y'know, it sounds pretty dangerous to me. Y'know, if anybody gets hurt, your name is mud.

RED GREEN: Harold, when I'm being chased by an angry bull, I'll take any name but Gord!

Red's Campfire Song
RED GREEN:


 * Oh, your kite got caught in the high-tension wire.
 * You thought you could get it down.
 * So you leaned your ladder up against the pole
 * And you heard a funny sound.
 * You climbed and you climbed way up to the top
 * Where the ladder touched the transformer.
 * You grabbed the wire to free your kite
 * And you noticed your hand getting warmer.

RED AND HAROLD: {in unison} Ohhhh.... RED GREEN:


 * Sparks flew out and away you went,
 * With one arm noticeably enlarged.
 * Now, normally, the cops would make an arrest,
 * But they can see you'd already been charged.

Red's Sage Advice
RED GREEN: Wanna talk to all you couples out there who may be a little bit confused as to why relationships are so difficult. You know, they say it's bad to generalize, but it's something I really enjoy. So... so here– here's the thing, okay? Men are interested in cars. Women are interested in gardening. Yeah. Think about that. I mean, not all men like cars, some like motorcycles and trucks. But you gotta admit, you see more men at car shows than you see more women at gardening shows, eh? That's important. That'll help you understand why they see relationships so differently, see, 'cause women see a relationship like a garden, you know? You got to put a lot of work into it. You got to fuss over it. You got to churn over the ground, add more flowers, a little fertilizer. Whereas men see a relationship like a car: once they've made a commitment to have one, they really expect it to go at least five years without any serious maintenance. Oh, yeah! See, women enjoy working on a relationship. They see that as part of the fun. Men see that as a sign that there's some serious mechanical problem. And maybe that's why when there is a serious problem, women try to dig down deep and get to the roots. Whereas, unfortunately, a lot of men try to trade up! Remember, I'm pulling for ya. We're all in this together.
